KANA-BOON 『Wake up』Music Video

There’s data showing that as we moved from the Showa era to Heisei and then Reiwa, the intro sections of popular songs have been getting shorter and shorter.

Amid that trend, Wake up is a track that gets you excited from the very first notes.

The intro builds as if friends are gathering—starting with drums and cymbals, then joined by guitar.

The lyrics are just as brilliant, rising to meet that sound! “Say goodbye to yesterday’s gloom and welcome a new morning,” it encourages—words that will move anyone feeling a bit faint-hearted.

Spring can be an anxious time of fresh starts, but let this song give you the courage to take that first step.
